Ok, thanks! (I confess I am lazy.) I found

...and added to my backup script the following option:
ssh (......)  -o  CheckHostIP=no

This helps me some way.

But still another problem persists: the ip keeps changing. That is why I 
want the client (person) to start the script by a web interface. That 
way I could pick the ip up from the httpd log, or with some server-side 
script... Any ideas how to do this?
